Hi,
What motor systems can you get up and running without a workshop software or frame number serial ?
Many motors, controllers and hardness is available, online but what can be used by DIY

  • Bosch? (yes, some ebay sellers sell new ready to run motors) Used motors can be used if bought with a used screen, or new screen is configured to the motor at a workshop. Smart system, and not Smart , cannot be mixed
  • Shimano ? (most likely with a shimano compatible battery)
  • Brose?
  • Specialised Brose?
  • Specialised Mahle? (yes with blinking error, that ctrl is not configured to motor)
  • Mahle?
  • Yamaha?
  • Giant ~ most likely NOT
  • Fazua?
  • TQ? (motors are preprogrammed to certain rame number)
  • Polini?
  • CYC~YES
Others?

I know Shimano sells them to small manufacturers that the other brands won't, so that's most likely (apart from Bafang, CYC, etc). You won't get a Bosch, Avinox, or probably any of the others. I wanted to buy a used Whyte Elyte with SX motor and upgrade to CX, but Whyte told me I couldn't, even though they use the exact same frame for the version with CX.
